From physiologist to kinesiologist
38 of the 49 essential skills of a kinesiologist are already essential for a physiologist — about 78% of the job, before you learn anything new. It is the closest move from physiologist in the whole taxonomy.
These numbers compare two occupations, not you and a job. What you personally already cover depends on what you have actually done.

What a kinesiologist does
Kinesiologists study and research the movement of the body; its muscles and parts. They analyse and use scientific data and methods to improve body motion, generally in humans, through an understanding of such areas as physiology, kinetics, neurology, and biology. They recognise the effects that some factors, such as body condition, have on motion and develop solutions to improve overall mechanics and mobility.
